Training objective: last kick at the cat before #theride, so just easy tempo rides Tuesday and Wednesday for 2 hours each, followed by rest (and travel) days Thursday and Friday and a light 45 minute spin on Saturday before tackling Stelvio on Sunday morning... Weather warning is right (winds to 95 km/hr expected later in the day) - definitely some big gusts that nearly ripped the handlebars out of my hands - I love it! It was a bit of work to keep it at easy tempo - but with the exception of a couple of sprints - as well as a couple of very windy sections - I kept the heart rate in the 145-155 bpm zone. Will take it down a notch tomorrow and keep it below 150 bpm's. The highlight was having to bunny-hop over two fallen tree limbs as I rounded a blind corner at 42 km/hr - fantastic fun - just like on the MTB! :) Tomorrow's supposed to be very windy as well...
